Kate Beckinsale Gets Dramatically Purple in Ruffled Mini Dress & Platforms at Elie Saab Couture Paris Fashion Week Show

Kate Beckinsale popped in head-to-toe purple.

The English actress attended Elie Saab‘s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023 runway show on Wednesday. The collection, shown in Paris as part of Haute Couture Week, featured menswear— a first time for the Lebanese designer’s brand. Beckinsale was joined by an array of stars like Sabrina Elba and Olivia Culpo.

To the event, Beckinsale donned a pretty purple mini dress. The dress featured a plunging neckline as well as dramatic ruffle details. She added drop earrings to the look as well as a few rings. She carried a leather purse in the exact same hue as her dress that included gold hardware. Finally, she finished off her monochrome look with a pair of purple platform heels. Her shoes were covered in a soft, velvet material and featured a peep-toe design as well as an ankle strap for extra support.
